A SEAFRONT route has been confirmed for AFC Bournemouth's celebratory open top bus parade.

The Premier League bound Cherries will travel from pier to pier on Bank Holiday Monday, to enable the maximum number of fans to share in the celebrations.

Eddie Howe's squad will start the celebrations at Boscombe Pier at 11am before making their way along the promenade to finish just east of Bournemouth Pier.

Fans are being encouraged to arrive early and make use of all the vantage points offered along the seafront.

Chairman Jeff Mostyn said: "The reaction to the bus parade plans have been incredible.

"We are expecting unprecedented numbers of supporters to turn out and it promises to be as memorable as any matchday this season."

Bournemouth council chief executive Tony Williams said: "Reaching the Premier League is a hugely historic moment for the town and we are all so proud of the club's very well-deserved success.

"We look forward to welcoming visitors from some of the Premier League's biggest clubs to our town next season - and we know our team will go on to show visiting clubs that the Cherries are a force to be reckoned with."
